In the Beginning.....
A group of nine riders and friends helped to start an organization while relaxing
after a motorcycle ride at our local Tim Horton's. We were just sitting around
and thought it would be a great idea to form a group of motorcycle riders. These
motorcycle rides would benefit charities, but also would allow us to do a lot of
riding. We wanted to provide a safe and social riding atmosphere for all riders
no matter what they rode, whether or not they are seasoned riders or new riders....
December 14, 2006 The Original Nine officially incorporated as "The Original Nine Association Inc."

Ride for a Vet
Bernie Levasseur with the help of friends Don Bush, Glenn Kulyk and Jim Giefer helped
organize the first annual 'Ride for A Vet'. In 2002 the donation was made
to the Boys and Girls Club. The following consecutive years our support
went to the Legion with the cause being VETERANS UNMARKED GRAVES. Thousands of
dollars were donated towards the said cause. This has been an ongoing event till
this date. In 2006 the newly formed ORIGINAL NINE RIDING ASSOCIATION INC. came to life and
are now continuing to hold the RIDE FOR A VET charity poker run
